Chapter 53: A Box of Plum Blossom Cakes
"This ......" Zhou Fu looked embarrassed and kept pursing his lips.
"Tell me! Tell me! Say it! He roared.
"Second Young Master, don't worry, I'll say." Zhou Fu shook his head, sighed and said, "That day, we found the eldest young grandmother at the gate of the broken temple. After returning home, she was unconscious, with a high fever that did not go away, and the fever lasted for seven days, and finally, she finally woke up, but after waking up, she never spoke again. ”
"After that, the old man and the wife used the family law to punish the young grandmother, the young grandmother was beaten all over the body with blood, everyone did not dare to persuade, but I didn't expect the eldest young master to pounce on it all of a sudden, hugged the young grandmother tightly, the family law hit the eldest young master, the eldest young master spurted out a mouthful of blood, the whole family was stunned, the old lady was even more frightened, cough, but the wife was still very angry, to' Seven out of the 'drive the young grandmother out, the eldest young master knelt down and cried and pleaded, cough, that scene is really moving, I have never seen the eldest young master speak so smoothly, the eldest young master said, if the wife rushes the young grandmother out, he will go with her, never return to Zhou's house. The eldest young grandmother was also moved and hugged the eldest young master...... In that scene, as long as it was a person, I couldn't help but cry. ”
Ruikang leaned against the pillar of the pavilion, his hands clenched into fists tightly, and every word Zhou Fu said turned into pictures in front of him.
Zhou Fu shook his head, and then said: "Finally, the master and the wife have forgiven the eldest young grandmother, just when everyone thought that the turmoil had passed, the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother would be affectionate and loving from now on, and the qin was harmonious, who knows, not only did the eldest and young grandmother not speak, but even the eldest young master stopped talking." The two of them sat quietly in the study every day, painting and embroidering. No one understands what they're thinking......"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Fu sighed and said, "Second Young Master, it's really not that I deliberately want to hide it from you, it's really because I'm ...... Know you...... It's sad to hear it! Cough! ”
After listening to Zhou Fu's story, Ruikang was in a trance, those pictures kept spinning in his mind, how bitter was Ruojun's heart before he refused to speak? How much does Big Brother Ryan love Ruojun to protect her? How cowardly do you have to run away from everything?
He should go back and accept the punishment of the family law with her, no, it is he, he should accept all the punishments, it is he who did not restrain the lava in his chest, it is he who has been approaching her, pestering her, he is the initiator, yes, he should go to receive all the punishments, but he can't go back, he doesn't want to go back, now he runs away, and he still needs to be careful not to touch the fragments in his heart every day, if he goes back at this time and sees poor her, how can he be calm, how can he be rational, Maybe he'll do something even crazier than he did before. And Big Brother Ryan, how is he going to face it? His love for Ruojun is so deep, no less than himself.
He stood there, like a pillar of stone, silent, for he really didn't know what to say. I don't know how to save her, because he can't even save himself, perhaps, giving up is the only way out, give up, give up...... These two words gradually floated in his mind, so that everything returned to its original appearance, if Jun belongs to the eldest brother, then return it to the eldest brother, maybe in this way, all people can be liberated.
He nodded, didn't say anything more, looked back at Shu Zhi, and asked with a faint smile, "Do you like it here?" ”
Shu Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I like it, brother, it's so beautiful here, I will come here to go to college in the future." ”
"Okay, it's rare for you to come here, I'll take you around and enjoy the scenery." He took Shu Zhi's hand and walked towards the campus.
Sent Zhou Fu and Shu Zhi away, Ruikang returned to the dormitory, opened the suitcase brought by Zhou Fu, he really needed to add some changes of clothes, Zhao's mother thought very thoughtfully for him, from undershirts to shirts, socks to handkerchiefs, everything, and two boxes of snacks, Ruikang took out the same, put it away, took a handkerchief and put it in his pocket, his eyes swept away, and his eyes fell on the bright red plum blossoms on the handkerchief.
He and his brother Ryan's handkerchiefs have been hand-embroidered by Mrs. Zhou since childhood, one corner of his is plum blossoms, one corner is the word "Kang", and one corner of his brother Ryan is chrysanthemum, and the other corner is the word "An". Later, Mrs. Zhou didn't have enough time, so she asked Zhao's mother to do it for her. Ruikang is aware of Zhao's mother's handiwork, Zhao's mother has been dazzled by old age in recent years, and her embroidery has regressed a lot, once, the plum blossom petals and leaves were embroidered together, of course, Ruikang doesn't care about these, Zhao's mother is like her own relatives. It's just that the plum blossoms on this handkerchief are too delicately embroidered.
Mrs. Zhou and Zhao's mother embroidered a single plum blossom, and this handkerchief is embroidered with two of them, and the embroidery is fine, even the stamens are embroidered into the button, and the word "Kang", Zhao's mother is illiterate, so every time she embroiders, she just paints a scoop according to the gourd, just embroiders a word, but the word "Kang" on this handkerchief is actually a flowing book.
Ruikang looked at the handkerchief in a daze, and quickly filtered all the people in the family who might embroider this handkerchief in his mind, she, only her, yes, it could never be anyone else, only Mei Ruojun in the Zhou family has such embroidery and talent, and this piece of mind. The magma in his heart began to flow again, and he put the handkerchief on his face, and for a long time, he seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of her.
He immediately glanced at the dim sum box on the table, as if he had a hunch, opened it, and sure enough, it was full of boxes of plum blossom cakes, and each little plum blossom was made by her own hands, how much time and energy did it take.
Ruojun, Ruojun's heart began to cry again...... Falling into the chair and looking out the window, he really wanted to put on his wings and fly back, fly to her, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and take her away.
However, how far is the distance between thinking and doing, you can think recklessly, think impulsively, think crazy, but you can't do it recklessly, do it impulsively, do it crazy, because we not only have love, but also family affection, kindness, morality, etiquette......
Zhou Ruikang picked up a piece of plum blossom cake and put it into his mouth with some trembling, it was still so crispy and delicious, and it melted in his mouth, but the moment he tasted it, the moment he tasted it, the moment he tasted it, it was accompanied by a burst of sour nose and hot eyes, he never thought that he would be so excited to eat a small snack.
He seemed to understand why she jumped into the lotus pond, just like his state of mind at this time, he had to give up on her in order to give her a place to live, and when she jumped into the lotus pond, why didn't she want to give him a space to survive. After understanding this, his tears finally dripped down.
All night he put the handkerchief on his heart and fell into a deep sleep.
//
In the afternoon in the courtyard of the Zhou family, there was a quiet, although the people who lived in it knew that this was just an appearance, but no one wanted to destroy it. Knowing the "squeaky ----" in the trees, no one wants to move under the scorching sun.
Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou took a nap in Yilan Xiaozhu, and the people were also idle, napping and napping, in the study, Ruian also lay on the couch to rest, Mei Ruojun sat beside him, holding a palace fan in his hand, gently shaking it, fanning him.
Ryan opened his eyes, turned around, looked at her gently, pulled down her hand holding the fan, and shook his head gently. She also looked at him gently, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she shook her head. It was a wonderful conversation, there were no words, but the two had a heart-to-heart connection, and he was saying, "Don't fan, your hands will get tired." And she was saying, "It's okay, I'm not tired." ”
There was such a conversation between them every day, no one understood the communication between them, only they themselves understood, he understood her suffering, she understood his pain, he knew why she stopped talking, and she knew why he was silent again.
The second elder of the Zhou family has also acquiesced to their peculiar way of getting along, in short, Ruikang has left, everything has returned to calm, and the only headache is how to make Ruian and Ruojun have a round house.
The only thing in the Zhou family that didn't take a nap was Shu Zhi and Xun Mei, two brothers and sisters, the two brothers and sisters were frolicking, playing, chasing, and unconsciously ran to the small courtyard where Guo Xingquan lived, the garden door was open, Shu Zhi and Xun Mei tiptoed in curiously, Shu Zhi wanted to see the horse, Xun Mei was attracted by those yellow velvet chicks, Zhou Fu told them several times, let them not enter this small courtyard, but children like to explore by nature, especially Shu Zhi, who was originally a bold, the more he didn't let him go, The more he wanted to go in and have a look, especially since there were horses, donkeys, chickens, ducklings, and the child's nature of being close to animals, it made them want to go in and find out.
After a vegetable garden, it was the small wooden house where Guo Xingquan lived, the two held hands, held their breath, and walked in on tiptoe, they didn't know Guo Xingquan, but they had seen him enter and exit through the back door, and they had seen him from afar, and they knew that there was such a person as him.
Xun Mei saw a few yellow chicks next to the wooden house were following the hens to forage, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, while pulling Shu Zhi, while pointing to the chickens, Shu Zhi shook his head, pointed to the wooden house, and then pointed to the stable, indicating that the wooden house was in danger, go to the stables to play first. But Xun Mei didn't follow, she was a little afraid of tall horses, she preferred fluffy chicks, so she shook off Shu Zhi's hand and ran to the wooden house to catch a chick to play.
Shu Zhi had no choice but to follow her to the wooden house, grabbed a chicken and put it in her hands, and the two played under the window behind the wooden house.
"Guo Xingquan, are you finished? Want money again? No! There seemed to be someone arguing inside the house.
"None? You don't, my wife does! ”
"You, how much money have you extorted from us over the years? It's time for a game! ”
"Done? Okay, I'll go to the master and Zhou Fu to explain the things of the year clearly. ”
"Alas! …… How much? ”
"Three hundred oceans!"
"That's a lot! I don't think my wife will be able to take it either. ”
"Take it out, take it out, which piece of jewelry on her body is not priceless?"
"This ...... Cough...... I'll go talk to my wife. ”
The more Shu Zhi listened to the female voice, the more it looked like Yanxi's voice, and he couldn't help but stretch out his head to look at the window, sure enough, it was Yanxi, Guo Xing was completely naked, and Yanxi was also disheveled, combing his messy hair with both hands.
"Hehe, come, make out with me again."
"Get out of the way, I'm leaving."
"You son of a, you turn your face and don't recognize anyone when you get out of bed, are you still thinking about Zhou Fu?"
"Don't mention him, you don't deserve to mention him."
"Hey, I'm not worthy? What the fuck are you, believe it or not, I'll beat you? ”
"Beat, if you touch me, three hundred oceans will be thought, if you have the ability, you go and tell the master what happened back then, my wife and I naturally can't please me, what about you? If you don't pay off your gambling debts, it's no wonder that Liu Youcai didn't unload you with eight yuan. ”
Guo Xingquan's eyes rolled, thinking that it was still important to save his life, he waved his hand and said impatiently: "Roll...... Hurry up and get the money! ”
Yan Xi tidied up her clothes, ignored him, turned and opened the door, and walked out of the cabin.
